Harmonies filled the air with his favorite songs, sung without musical insruments, holding with the tradition of his Church of Christ.

Two horses free to good home

ANIMALS

This extraordinary offer just arrived, and is now posted in CM Classifieds:
Two horses free to good home
I have two horses, a TW mare who is 8, and an arab/barb mix gelding who is 4. They are both healthy and have been trail ridden, gentle horses. I am wanting to have more donkeys, and due to time (no time to ride horses) and space, I just want to find these two a good home. Rather than take them to auction or some such, I would rather just find a nice family or individual who wants a horse and cannot perhaps find a nice gentle one or two. I would prefer that these two go together, as they have been stable mates, and they get along great together. Both horses are dark brown. Gelding has four white feet, mare has two white feet. Both have stars on their foreheads. Call anytime (leave a message with name and number if I am not home) and I will get back to you. Mary or Bruce (270) 378-4773. Horses are located in Breeding, KY.
